This female great white was 6.1 m (20 ft) long. However, there was a report considered reliable by some experts in the past, of a larger great white shark specimen from Cuba in 1945. This specimen was 6.4 m (21 ft) long and had a body mass estimated at 3,324 kg (7,328 lb).
ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), also known as Lou Gehrigs disease, is a progressive disease of the motor neurons (nerve cells that control the skeletal muscles). As motor neurons are affected, gradual weakness, atrophy, and paralysis of the skeletal muscles occur.
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord.Motor neurons reach from the brain to the spinal cord and from the spinal cord to the muscles throughout the body.The progressive degeneration of the motor neurons in ALS eventually leads to their death. When the motor neurons die, the ability of the brain to initiate and control muscle movement is lost.With voluntary muscle action progressively affected, patients in the later stages of the disease may become totally paralyzed.otor neurons reach from the brain to the spinal cord and from the spinal cord to the muscles throughout the body. The progressive degeneration of the motor neurons in ALS eventually leads to their death. When the motor neurons die, the ability of the brain to initiate and control muscle movement is lost.
